What an absolutely fantastic tour—Jeffrey was so knowledgeable about the land, the animals, the history but most importantly had a love for it that was infectious. We got to see some incredible sights and see all the animals we could without disrupting nature. Really a great tour and couldn’t recommend highly enough!

We had a great morning with Corey. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He knew the area well and we were able to spot several moose, elk, bison, big horn sheep. Even though the weather was unseasonably warm and lacking snow, we were able to spot lots of wildlife and visit several areas in the parks. We had a great time and highly recommend Corey

patricia_n, Mar 2025
This was so great. Corey was so engaged and excited to show us the Moose, fox, coyote, wolf, elk ( of course) and bighorn sheep. Knows a TON about wildlife but super chill, not overbearing. Time flew by, many chances to get out. We all got videos through the scope ( he does that) for lifelong memories. Thank you!

Great experience! Scott was so lovely and knowledgeable. We saw fox, coyote, moose, elk, and bison. They provided high quality snacks (bars, muffins, fruit bars, trail mix) and water and juices. Also provide the opportunity to use a clean modern restroom. Oversll a great day seeing tons of animals that we normally wouldn’t on our own. Highly recommend!

Eccellant

Brian_H, Feb 2024
Very good presentation from the driver. Jeff wss very good at his job. We saw moose,elk,eagles,deer .

Driver was nice but this is way over priced

Karli_F, Feb 2024
Driver was nice and knowledgeable. He knew the pattern of a moose and stopped so we could watch it graze and then cross behind the car in back of it. I don’t think charging over $300 for two people to ride around in a van for 3.5 hours was worth it though.

Our driver/guide was very...

Bruce_T, Feb 2024
Our driver/guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He set a very comfortable pace. The van was very clean .

Awesome experience!

Taylor_A, Feb 2024
This was awesome!! Our guide was so knowledgeable and we saw so animals, moose, foxes, big horn sheep, elk, bison, coyotes. There was not a single question our guide couldn’t answer. They even provided a basket of snacks and drinks. 10/10

Fantastic experience!

Marisa_F, Jan 2024
Our guide, Barry, was incredible. He caught sight of a mother moose with 2 twin babies that none of the other guides saw. Same thing with the mousing coyote.

Definitely worth it, even in the winter!

Lindsay_P, Jan 2024
The tour was amazing! Kayla, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and taught us not only about the wildlife, but also the history of Jackson as a city. Even though some park roads were closed because it’s the winter, we still saw a good amount of sights!

Great day

Loved seeing bighorn sheep, elk, moose, beaver, red fox, hawks, magpies, and mule deer on the tour!
